Hi Charles. I have recently erected a second greenhouse at my allotment, greatly increasing my options for growing under glass. My first greenhouse has grown mainly tomatoes in the summer months for the last six years and, despite repeated applications of compost, yields have dropped a little.
With my increased under cover space, I was considering growing tomatoes in the new greenhouse area next year and growing something else to help rejuvenate the old houses soil. Does this thinking make sense and, if so, what would be advisable to grow in the old house? Something outside of the solanaceae family I would imagine! I’ve toyed with the idea of a green manure during the winter and now would be an ideal time to sow it – any mileage in this? Thanks and we’re getting regular rain again now 🙂
